Chapter 248: Going Home

Time passed, and the execution ground in the dead of night was utterly tranquil.

After Elva had left, the place became completely devoid of any sign of life, towering dunes of sand had thoroughly buried everything within.

"..."

In this state of stillness, a considerable amount of time elapsed.

A subtle 'creak, creak' noise began to emanate from the sands of the execution ground. Such a faint sound was hard to hear unless one was close by; ordinary people might dismiss it as an illusion.

However, the faint sound gradually grew louder.

Listening closely, it was similar to the sound of a rodent digging through the earth.

——Another few seconds passed.

At the edge of the sandy expanse, a specific area started to faintly reveal a weak white light, and one could vaguely make out some movement within this pale luminescence.

The white glow slowly intensified.

At last, one could clearly see that the source of light was moving upward, hugging the wall beneath the yellow sands.
